Welcome to the Austin Zen Center
At AZC, all people of every race, religion, nationality, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability are welcome to practice with the community. Practicing inclusivity and welcoming diversity is a foundation of the Dharma, and a path to alleviating the suffering of everyone. May all beings realize their true nature.
As an expression of our commitment to offer a place of refuge and trust, firearms and other weapons are excluded from our grounds and buildings.
